Nalin, For ubuntu/debian and their derivative distros, there are quite a few docs on building deb packages on the ubuntu wiki, a simple search will lead u to them. However, the easiest way to get started (not that the manual way is any tough) to install "checkinstall" program in ubuntu. Create a makefile with "install" target and list out what actions you want. Then run checkinstall, fill in the menu driven form fields and voila! package is ready. (For example debs that i created, you can look at some of them in the downloads section on my tech blog, e.g. take a look at shantz-xwinwrap, splert, etc) ---------------------- I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, U can't prove anything - Bart Simpson http://blog.shantanugoel.com http://tech.shantanugoel.com
